Looks like the xlr are very popular.

Doddy, don`t worry I wont use those wagos for the machine, I was just remarking on their ease of use really. I was hoping for some similar type of method but more suitable for movement. I had initially thought of those nice connectors found in cars with the rubber seals. I guess anything with a good solid connection but without soldering if possible.

Off to hire an enormous dehumidifier now.
